A 22-year-old El Dorado Hills man is behind bars on suspicion of robbing several area banks between June 29 and July 25 from Stateline to Folsom with his face covered in bandages, earning him the nickname, the Bandaged Bandit.
On July 25 at 2:35 p.m., the US Bank on White Rock Road in El Dorado Hills was robbed by a suspect who fled into a wooded area southeast of the bank. Deputies from the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office and California Highway Patrol officers and helicopter started searching the area.
The suspect, David Jarrell, was located in a creek and he surrendered to a Sheriff’s K9 unit. He was arrested on three counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery.
Investigators and dive team personnel assisted in recovering evidence both on land and in the water. Detectives later served a search warrant on the suspect’s residence and located additional evidence related to the bank robbery.
Detectives believe Jarrell is responsible for three bank robberies in El Dorado Hills, one in each Folsom, Rocklin and Stateline, and two attempted robberies/casings of banks in Cameron Park and Davis.
His bail has been set at $1.6 million.
The Sheriff’s Office is working with the FBI and surrounding agencies as the investigation continues. Anyone with further information is encouraged to contact Detective Conley at 530-642-4712 with reference to case #EG16-6612.
